Is there any hope for my beautiful cat's fur?
Little back story: my Mika (pictured: adorable) is about 18-19 years old and I've had her since she was a tiny fluffball. Mika hates being brushed, like truly despises it. She always took good care of herself and her fur was impeccable, so I left her alone and didn't brush her, but now, in her old age, she gave up on that task and became matted. I ended up bringing her to a groomer who did a really bad job at shaving her, but at least she wasn't matted anymore.
Fast forward about 4-5 months and here we are. Her dark fur somehow managed to grow back in, but her lighter colored hair hasn't grown at all. I know that cat's fur can be weird and can grow back a different color or even texture, but I never heard of it not growing back at all.
I just need some hope that my Mikachu isnt going to have to live out the rest of her life with this awful shave job. Am I just being impatient? I dont want the poor girl to have to go through another winter without her warm fur.
